Friday Post

Well the first week of school is over!

The M & Ms have had a great week of getting to know each other and establishing routines and patterns that will set the standard for the year.

We established our essential agreements, created our own scenarios so that we could understand the PYP learner profiles and attitudes, as well as learning how best to collaborate with different groups of peers.

We began work on our UOI Migration. Students revealed many Learner Profile attributes and attitudes when our discussions began. We finished the week reading some different stories that introduced the migration idea and after some discussion, students were able to begin to break down our Central Idea and lines of inquiry to make sense of the direction we will take.

There was a lot of discussion and debate, as well as students revealing their desire to learn.  They expressed empathy for people in difficult situations and had their own experiences to refer to and share with the class group.

I was very proud of their enthusiasm to share!

We finished off the day with a session of 'Go Noodle'! Ask your child about what this is!
Here are the results.
